24 May 2018 - Denunciations, including claims for damages, continue against activists defending families from eviction.

Yesterday, just after Cesare Ottolini, secretary of Padova Tenants’ Union, and a member of the Italian Tenants’ Union’s national secretariat, as well as global coordinator of the International Alliance of Inhabitants (IAI), was charged to appear in court, Michelangelo Di Beo, a fellow member of the Italian Tenants’ Union’s national secretariat, has in turn been charged to appear in court for having defended a family during an anti-eviction picket. The same story for another member of the Tenants’ national secretariat, Laura Boy, who has also been charged to appear in court for the occupation of an abandoned and dilapidated building.
